Dear John letters to British servicemen while they served abroad was probably the low point of that particular serviceman. They just had to get on with their lives, because being far from home they could do nothing about it
I do not know if the American personnel use the same term Dear John when they refer letters from their girlfriends that their relationships were over
Most cases it was because they had found somebody else and having no feelings for the aggrieved
It happened to one of the lads in our tent, without saying a word he just nailed the letter to the tent pole and walked out.
I am pleased to say the Dear John letters were few and far between.
The overwhelming majority of British young women stuck by their men, while still in the prime of their lives
I can only speak on behalf of the British both ex and present servicemen in thanking you one and all
